Lane Delaforce has shown a level head above his years to help Grafton Vikings to victory in their first home game of the Sunshine Conference.The 16-year-old showed direction and a crisp shooting game as the Vikings streaked away to a 80-65 second round victory against the Byron Beez at 'The Cage'.
Grafton basketball stalwart and junior development coordinator Hamish Denshire was also strong in a dominant 27-21 fourth quarter.
Captain Sam Wicks, who stepped on court in the absence of co-captain Dan Boorman, praised the home side for jumping out of the blocks early in the opening stretch.
"We hit a few good shots early, and kept the intensity and pressure on them in defence for a lot of the first quarter," Wicks said.
